The ring looked right online. It arrived, you tried it on, it wouldn't go past your knuckle — or it went on fine and spun completely loose by afternoon. Both outcomes come from the same gap: not knowing your actual size before ordering. This guide closes that gap in about five minutes.
Mithra's Ring Size Chart
Mithra rings are sized using the US system. Here is the full chart with inner diameter and circumference — both measurements are useful depending on which method you use below.
| US Size | Inner Diameter | Circumference | Who it usually fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| US 5 | 15.7 mm | 49.3 mm | Small hands, pinky finger |
| US 6 | 16.5 mm | 51.8 mm | Most common for Pakistani women — index or ring finger |
| US 7 | 17.3 mm | 54.4 mm | Average — middle or ring finger |
| US 8 | 18.1 mm | 56.9 mm | Slightly wider fingers, middle finger |
| US 9 | 18.9 mm | 59.5 mm | Wider fingers or index finger on larger hands |
Not sure where you fall? US 6 is the most common ring size for women in Pakistan — it is a reliable starting point if you are measuring for the first time and the finger feels average to you.
How to Measure at Home — 3 Ways That Actually Work
None of these require a ring sizer tool or a trip to a store. Pick the one that matches what you have available right now.
Method 1 — String or paper strip
Cut a thin strip of paper or use a piece of thread. Wrap it around the finger you want to measure — snug but not tight enough to cut in. Mark where it meets itself, then lay it flat against a ruler. That measurement in millimetres is your circumference. Match it to the chart above.
Common mistake: Measuring too tight. The strip should feel comfortable, not like a band pressed into your skin. If your knuckle is noticeably wider than the base of your finger, measure both and pick a size between the two.
Method 2 — Existing ring you already wear
Take a ring that fits comfortably on the finger you are buying for. Lay it flat on a ruler and measure the inner diameter — straight across the inside of the circle from edge to edge. Match that number in millimetres to the diameter column in the chart above. This is the fastest method and the most accurate if the ring genuinely fits well.
Works for gifting too: If you want to find someone else's size without asking, quietly borrow a ring they wear on the right finger. The inside diameter tells you everything.
Method 3 — Printable ring sizer
Download and print a ring sizer PDF at exactly 100% scale — do not use "fit to page" or the measurements will be off. Cut out the circles on the sheet and place your existing ring over them until you find the circle that matches the inside edge of your ring perfectly. The number on that circle is your size.
If you are between two sizes: Always go with the larger one. A ring that is slightly loose is an easy fix; one that will not slide past your knuckle is not.
When to Measure — and When Not To
Finger size is not constant. It changes more than most people realise, and measuring at the wrong time genuinely affects what size you end up ordering.
- End of day — Fingers are at their largest in the evening. Measuring in the morning can read smaller.
- Room temp — Cold makes fingers contract. Measure in a comfortable temperature.
- After activity — Exercise and heat cause swelling. Wait at least an hour.
- Measure twice — Take at least two readings and use the average.
Which Finger Are You Buying For?
Different fingers on the same hand are different sizes.
Index finger
Usually a size larger than the ring finger.
Middle finger
Usually the widest finger. Often US 7 or 8.
Ring finger
Most common purchase finger. Often US 6 to 7.
Pinky finger
Usually 1–2 sizes smaller than ring finger.
